"The Evolution of Christianity, or Origin, Nature, and Development of the Religion of the Bible." By F. G. Smith. Price, cloth, $1.00. Gospel Trumpet Co., Anderson, Indiana.

This book is a good, sound, wholesome presentation of what Christianity is and what it has done in the world. It presents in a strong, courageous way the hopes and joys of Christianity in this life, and the glorious and desirable reward it holds before us for the future. The work shows an immense amount of well-selected reading and research in its preparation. Heathen poets, statesmen, historians, and philosophers, as well as the wealth of Christian literature, are all made to contribute to the purposes of the author in the presentation of his subject. It is written in a very readable way, interspersed with frequent word illustrations and narrative that lend themselves to the emphasis of the points presented. It is a book that will be both enjoyable and helpful to the layman; and the minister will find it full of suggestions, facts, and illustrations to aid him in setting home to the hearts of his hearers the great truths of the Word of God.
